The book examines six of his plays--\u003ci\u003eTitus Andronicus, The Merchant of Venice, Hamlet, Othello, King Lear\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMacbeth\u003c\/i\u003e--and explores how they satirized humanism's grounding in Aristotle's philosophy of slavery and supremacy. Shakespeare used characters like Hamlet and Aaron the Moor to attack that bigotry, and his stance against racism and humanism revealed his Catholic faith.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47610030915735,"sku":"9780786440399","price":3705.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780786440399.webp?v=1775061291","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/shakespeare-attacks-bigotry-a-close-reading-of-six-plays-9780786440399","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
